Runs a bit small...I measured my dogs neck and snout as instructed and got the size according to the chart. It's a bit tight, I'm gonna have to return and size up.

Literally so impressed with how well this worked. I have a large, very strong dog who loves to pull - as a 5'2 woman, this has been a huge challenge for me to try to walk and train him. This stopped his pulling more than any other harness or collar I have tried (and I've tried them all). Kind of hard to get it to fit at first, but just so thankful for this product!

We have a very energetic eight year old shepherd mix that we adopted six years ago. She is always in a hurry and leash pulling on our daily walk which wears us out. Thankfully, we’ve almost put an end to her lunging at other dogs but the leash pulling is so hard to stop. We’ve tried a few different harnesses without luck but the Gentle Leader really does work. If she forgets and starts to pull, she immediately pauses. We’re very fortunate that it only took a couple of walks for her to become acclimated to the new gear. I’m amazed and enjoying our walks so much more!

Works great! My puppy doesn't pull and grab things off the ground anymore!

Recently 'adopted' #100 Great Dane/Black Lab. While he has no mean bones in his body, at 18 months he probably has more growing to go. Unfortunately he is unaware of just how big and strong he is. He about pulled my husband off his feet when walking with a regular harness. We tried a no-pull harness which was ok, but he chewed it up when it was left within his reach. The gentle leader has allowed my husband to continue to walk him with the confidence of being able to maintain control. Although he sometimes fights the gentle lead when he wants to 'visit' with other dogs.

Using this on my son’s Norwegian Elk hound. He pulled so hard, no one wanted to walk him. We had a harness on him so he wouldn’t hurt his trachea. I use the gentle leader and his harness and a leash from each because having read reviews that said the gentle leader breaks and then you lose your dog, I didn’t want to chance it. Walking nicely is now a thing!

OMG I wish I would have bought this years ago for my 13 year old dog. No more pulling. It took a week for my old dog to get used to the feel. I started with a few small walks and lots of treats. Did the same for the puppy. Now I can walk both dogs which are 75+lbs all by myself.

Heavy duty, gentle, easy fitting! This has been such a breeze to teach my dog proper walking etiquette. I only had to use it a couple of times and he figured out how he was supposed to be walking with me. We no longer need it.. I love this product and how fast it helped me train my pups!

I have two large silver labradors who get at least one walk daily--Bruiser is almost 5 years old, 90lbs, and has been an angel on leash since he was a puppy. My Rambo is 3 years old, 78 lbs, and I've been consistently working with him on leash walking since he was a puppy. He is atrocious on leash despite trying obedience classes, clicker training, various styles of harnesses, and various training methods. He is a little leash reactive, highly prey driven, and likes to move very fast. He has begun pulling away from dog walkers which was the last straw, and at their recommendation I tried the Gentle Leader as a last ditch attempt.

He has begun pulling away from dog walkers which was the last straw, and at their recommendation I tried the Gentle Leader as a last ditch attempt. I followed the guidelines for introducing the Gentle Leader very closely as I needed this transition to go smoothly. He accepted it quickly once he realized it meant treats, and from the first walk with it I was sold. He still tries to pull with it on, but the difference now is he isn't getting away from walkers, pulling arms out of sockets, or pulling people behind him like Marmaduke. The combination of the Gentle Leader and constant reinforcement of good walking behavior has made him a pleasure to walk. To be honest, he hates the Gentle Leader--it takes patience and a treat to get it on him--but I actually think he is also enjoying walks more now that we're not both frustrated. Before you use, make sure the fit is exactly right so your dog isn't uncomfortable or able to get out of it. As a backup, I also put his collar on him. I had some doubts and reservations about this product but it was life changing for us, and I'm even about to buy him a second one because I use it to take him to the off-leash lake and it's getting muddy and gross. Hopefully as we continue to work on his leash manners, one day we'll be able to transition away from it. … more

Love this harness in fact we rarely use the collar any more. It’s much more safe and comfortable for our puppy
